Chiller turn on, has flow rate, but doesn't has cooling energy
I have 3 chillers in my system. I use this EMS to control the chiller's On/Off status. In PlantLoop configuration, I setup Load Distribution Scheme to UniformPLR.

I test chiller 1 and 3 operations (turn off chiller 2). The flow rate through chillers works properly both refer to the On/On schedule, but the chiller 1's cooling energy is 0. I expected half of the total coil cooling load of each chiller.
